Purchase of Own Securities and Total Voting Rights

The Company announces that on 19 December 2017 it purchased 500,000 ordinary shares of 10 pence each at a price of 73.65 pence per share. The shares purchased represent 0.46 per cent of the total number of voting rights in the Company before the transaction. These shares will be held in treasury.

The above figure of 108,607,183 ordinary shares may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
